ALUMNI BAND DAY NOTES


Things you want to know for 2018 Alumni Band Day Weekend:

  • Check-In, late registration, business meeting and rehearsal will be at the Butler School of Music, Bates Hall and Band Longhorn Band Hall on Friday, November 16th, from 5:30 PM until 9:00 PM.  Final agenda TBA later.
  • Dr Hanna is inviting LHAB members to perform with LHB during Bevo Blvd and Stampede parades for Longhorn fans and football team. Please check the box during registration if you’re interested in playing and marching in these pre-game parades so LHB can allocate personnel properly. Bevo Blvd/Stampede event is a 1st Come – 1st Play opportunity based on online registration. Not everyone will be able to participate, as we have limited size restrictions, we will assign on a first-come-First-serve basis dependent on part distribution. We can’t accommodate everyone in LHAB to these events!
  • Please download music before arriving at rehearsal. To access the music, you will need to login to the LHAB Member Area of the website and click on the Music tab.
  • Guests are welcome to attend the game with you, and guest tickets can be purchased through your Band Day registration.  Guest tickets are $40/per ticket. All guest tickets must be ordered by November 2, 2018, by 5:00 pm.
  • UT Athletics has placed guest seats in Section 18-19, northeast corner lower deck at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium (red-lined).  This is the same location LHB has sat the past several years.  We realize this is a change in protocol from previous years where LHAB guests were able to sit within proximity of LHAB, UT-Athletics option #2 was NE Upper Deck for LHAB and guests, and we felt this wasn’t an option for our members and guests

    LHAB will be sitting in South Endzone bleachers Sections 37-38.

  • LHAB will close online registration at 5:00 pm Monday, November 12, 2018.  Mail-in registration must be postmarked by 4:30 pm Wednesday, November 7, 2018.  Walk-up registration is only available Friday, November 16 at the business meeting and will incur a late charge.  We cannot guarantee a marching position for any late registrants.
  • Parking details for Band Day weekend will be sent at a later date.
  • We will have a Normandy attendee’s music rehearsal on Sunday at 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm in Longhorn Band Hall.
